Okay, so the factors of 8 are:
1, 2, 4, and 8
because 1 x 8 = 8
and 2 x4 = 8

i dont think i get it yet

@StudyGurl14
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
I'll get you started. 1 and 48 are factors of 48 because 1 times 48 = 48.

@SolomonZelman
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
You can easily find teh next set of factors by diving 48 by 2, because you know it must have 2 as a factor since it is an even number

Now, find out if 48 is divisible by 3.4+8= 12, which is divisible by 3, so 48 is divisble by 3. What is 48/3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
